Chapter 226 Difficult ending

At the end of March, the Chinese New Year, which lasted from November 2009 to March 2010, finally came to an end.

It is as long as four months, and there is no gap in between, which can be called the most in the history of Chinese films.

In the end, "Avatar" hit the box office of 1.3 billion yuan in the mainland, following the big ship 13 years ago, truck drivers once again swept the mainland and the global film market, everywhere they went, there were disasters.

The box office of Zhang Yimou's new film after three years has not even reached 200 million, the box office of China Film's blockbuster with an investment of 200 million has just exceeded 100 million, and the box office of Cheng Long's single film is as low as 60 million.

can all be blamed on the explosion of "Avatar".

Of course, it's not all disaster.

As long as the movie is made well, there are still audiences who buy it.

The first big movie in the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series sold 120 million.

During the Spring Festival, the box office of several movies was also good, and it was not bad compared with the Lunar New Year stalls two years ago.

The four-month Lunar New Year stall is too long, and gradually the term Spring Festival stall began to appear on the entertainment news.

In addition to the Spring Festival stalls, this Spring Festival is also very lively.

Zhang Yimou, who suffered a defeat in the Lunar New Year, immediately launched the next movie, and just held a start-up press conference in Yuan'an County, Yicang.

Lao Mouzi is Lao Mouzi, even if "Three Guns" failed at the box office, it did not have much impact on him.

So many years, the accumulation of so many movies, is not something that one movie can defeat.

During this time, the outside world has also been speculating about the candidate for the new Mou Girl, and almost all the actresses of the younger generation in the circle have been guessed.

It wasn't revealed until the start of the camera that the new Mou girl was a senior high school student who had just turned eighteen years old.

There is also an indecent video of a car model that broke out on the Internet, which became popular after hype, and once occupied six of the top eight items in Google search rankings, and several videos appeared one after another.

There is no one to this hype.

However, netizens like to watch this, a few days ago, the vice president of a bank was corrupt, and the prosecutor's evidence on the accounts in court also mentioned two female stars, Zhao Wei and a CCTV hostess.

The host returned the bribe, but Zhao Wei was not implicated, clarifying that he had only had a business cooperation with a businessman who had bribed the vice president, attended the opening ceremony of his department store, and received a salary of 300,000 yuan, and it was ten years ago.

It has been clarified, except for some various speculations on the Internet, it is basically over, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

However, another big flower Dan Zhang Ziyi, it is really a big trouble.

Splashing ink, fraudulent donations, and changing corners, three major events in succession, are called triple doors by good netizens.

There is even something to seal the soup door, as if it was said by Lu Chuan, he strongly supported Tang Wei, saying that he heard that Tang Wei did not go to a certain son's appointment, or that an actress lobbied a certain executive, and used public opinion to lynch Tang Wei and block Tang Wei.

There was a lot of uproar, and soon the spearhead was pointed at Zhang Ziyi.

However, when the reporter asked Lu Chuan, he shouted that he was wronged, saying that he had also heard rumors that the actress was definitely not Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Ziyi was not that kind of person.

That's right, when he wrote that sentence, he said that he had heard it.

I've heard something, and I don't have to be responsible for that.

But no matter what, the soup gate came out like this.

Coincidentally, a new movie starring Tang Wei and Zhang Xueyou will be released in a few days, you say it's a coincidence.

The more developed the network, the faster all kinds of rumors spread, and sometimes a casual sentence can make a storm in the city.

And not to mention that the truth and the false can't be distinguished, some things don't know if the parties themselves made it.

Two days ago, Zheng Zhongji and Cai Zhuoyan held a press conference, admitting that they had been married for a long time, and then announced their divorce.

Be all abroad.

At the beginning of March, they still looked affectionate, Zheng Zhongji said that he had the idea of proposing, and Cai Zhuoyan also said that the relationship was very stable.

But within half a month, it was announced that they were married, and then the divorce was announced.

Coincidentally, at this time, "Yueguang Treasure Box" was a big hit in the mainland, and on the day the divorce was announced on the 28th, the box office was infinitely close to 100 million, and the box office exceeded 100 million on the 29th.

And Cai Zhuoyan is also reorganizing the TWIS group with Zhong Xintong, preparing to re-debut in the name of the group.

......

"Your circle is really messy. ”

Looking at all kinds of news on the Internet, Li Qian was amazed.

Listening to Li Qian's sigh, Guo Fan couldn't help but complain, "Boss, you don't seem to be in this circle." ”

Li Qian smiled, "What does the entertainment industry have to do with me, I am a director, at most in the film industry." ”

The corners of Guo Fan's mouth twitched, and he didn't entangle this matter with Li Qian, and took out the script that he had repeatedly revised.

Guo Fan, the script of "Time Planning Bureau", was completed a month ago, and the storyboard was done one-fifth, but the ending was still being revised repeatedly this month.

"What's the ending this time?" asked Li Qian and took the script.

"Pessimistic, it's dark. Guo Fan said.

At first glance, it is true, this ending is the heroine's father, who is also the president of the time bank, and finally was pointed at a gun by the male protagonist, calmly saying that if the existing system is overthrown, the society will be completely chaotic, and a series of problems such as population explosion and loss of control of law and order are more serious than now.

And thousands of years ago, there were people like the male protagonist who briefly overthrew their rule, but the society got out of control, war and civil strife followed, and humanity almost became extinct.

Then, instead of listening to his threats, the male protagonist pointed a gun at him and insisted that he transmit the countless hours stored at the bank's headquarters to the banks in various regions.

The end ends with countless banks being smashed in various regions, each snatching years, decades, or even centuries.

It seems that there is no ending, but the ending is actually what the heroine's father said.

Still not good.

Guo Fan also saw it from Li Qian's face, and said helplessly, "The ending of this film is very difficult, I don't know where to start, no matter how I design it, it's almost meaningless, I'm sorry for this idea and the previous plot." ”

"There's no way around it. ”

Li Qian shook his head and put down the script.

"This is also one of the flaws of this story, there is no way, this protagonist is an ordinary person, and his adventures are just to gain more time, but rich people live for thousands of years at every turn, it is nothing at all, the protagonist's ability is limited, and in the end he is powerless and can't change.

This is not an ordinary grand theft story, killing a few bad guys is over, and the existing rules of this society need to be subverted, but after the subversion, with the protagonist alone, the next step will definitely be to cause social unrest, because after the chaos, he has no ability to establish a new order. ”

Why didn't Guo Fan know about these, but he could only nod his head and agree, and couldn't think of any good way, "Yes, the pattern is too big, and the protagonist is too thin to hold up." ”

In fact, the heroine's father is right, even if he can divide the time among a million people, it can only prolong their suffering, and in the end the male protagonist realizes that even if he divides his time with the commoners, it will not be long before he will return to the ruler, no matter what he does, it will be futile and disheartened, which is in line with reality and the content of the movie. ”

Isn't this the reality, there are many drawbacks in society, but the people can't do anything at all, everything depends on the will of the above.

Even if the ruler is willing to think about the common people, the ruling class behind him will not be willing, and it is not good to overthrow you and support an obedient one.

The individual, in the sorrow of a hierarchical society, is so realistic.

The best way to do this is to be a member of the ruling class to have the opportunity to put your ideas into reality.

But this movie obviously can't be done, if it is shot like that, it will be a new story, and in terms of entertainment, it will be greatly reduced.

The length of the film, which is less than two hours and a half, is also not allowed.

"But. ”

Li Qian turned and said, "This is a movie, everything is based on the creator's ideas, and it has nothing to do with reality, you think about what ending the audience wants to see in the face of such a society." ”

Since it is a grand thief, the audience must want to see the provocation and destruction of the old rules recklessly, which cannot be changed.

In the end, the flood of time, the scene of social unrest is transformed into a popular struggle, and the process of escape and destruction in the second half should highlight the word resistance, and at the same time, it should also resonate with the common people, so that the male protagonist can become the spiritual leader of ordinary people. ”

There is no other better way to do this movie, and it stands to reason that the dark ending is the best, but it is not likable.

The commercial film itself is positioned as an entertainment-oriented film, and it must not be done like that.

The original ending is that all the areas have collapsed due to the flood of time, and people have enough time to leave the civilian areas and flock to the rich areas, and the social structure is seriously damaged.

And the hero and heroine are in a bigger bank and commit a robbery on time.

There is only continuous destruction, and no new social order and rules are established, although the ending is very bad, but it can also be seen as a kind of venting.

Unable to do anything about reality, wanton destruction.

Guo Fan thought about it, and there seemed to be no better way, although the ending of the world in the movie was still not given, but the people's minds changed, and they began to resist spiritually, not just for the sake of venting the destruction.

At the very least, this ending leaves a better suspense for the future of that world, and there is a glimmer of hope.

That's it, the preparations will officially start tomorrow, the casting and exterior preparations will be prepared at the same time, and if there is no suitable place to set up the scenery, it will not be bad for this money.

Although the exterior scenes in "Time Planning Bureau" are generally similar to reality, they have to highlight the world background, and the difference between the civilian area and the rich area is not just whether it is prosperous or not.

As for Su Lun's film, the ready-made script does not need to be moved, and the storyboard has been completed in the past three months, and it is relatively simple, and in terms of the main narrative method, the post-editing is the focus.

During this time, Su Lun was studying Nolan's "Inception", "Memory Fragments" and other similar style films.

This kind of film is not about how well it is acted, how good the plot is, and the editing in the later stage has a decisive impact on the finished film.

Both films can start preparation, including Li Qian's own "I Am Legend", and the creation of the script has also been completed, and even the concept map and three-dimensional image of the zombie have been entrusted to the special effects company to make it first, to see if this level can be accepted.

The news of the casting of the three films, including the general requirements for each character, was sorted out and sent out that night.

Immediately, the entire industry was shocked, but all actors who met the slightest requirement were moved.

This is not an ordinary role, Li Qian's own film will not be mentioned, Su Lun's debut film will sell 180 million.

Although Guo Fan was almost, he got a box office of more than 30 million at a cost of one million, and "127 Hours", a movie with one actor, was not less popular when it was painted, and countless audiences watched it through various channels.

For a while, Li Qian's work mailbox was immediately filled with all kinds of emails, and it also became the center of the entire industry.

After all, whether it is director Li Qian or producer, it is a guarantee of quality and box office, and the big sale of "People in Embarrassment" during the Spring Festival is still vivid.
